Because there are only two animals that I know of that are above humans on the evolutionary ladder: cats and dolphins. Cats never got over being worshiped as gods in Egypt and dolphins, well all they do is eat, play and have sex all day. You tell me who is smarter. Cows exist to be slaughtered (except in India where they are not slaughtered for fear someone might kill someone's grandmother's reincarnation). They must have bad karma.

Actually, humans can only be humans, cows cows and cats cats. Dolphins can become gods though. After thousands of incarnations, humans, through discipline and wisdom, become dolphins. That is my goal.


assuming you are being serious about this......... how do you know all this?

Well, it is a little tongue in cheek, but it is based on my years of study of comparative religious, spiritual and psychological philosophies and a life long interest in biology and wildlife. Also, through some very intense spiritual experiences I found that the Source can be tapped without intermediaries. We all have a direct connection to the Source (god to you) but we have been lied to since birth. So called intermediaries (priests, ministers, rabbis and mullahs) have a vested interest in keeping us ignorant of that fact to keep their positions of power.

As good is to bad so to is plain to elaborate. hows that for evasion, I can't remember any allegorical crown stuff today, share your thoughts, it's sunday afterall
If you expand on the name thing then when you're God you don't need any 'flashy extras'. It might take a while to verify that theory, so ah bear that in mind.
Go forth and build road for there are multitudes to follow, ............ that'll be $50, .......... each.

Well, it is a little tongue in cheek, but ..........
Don't let the salesman convince you the first step is giving up all your wealth (to him) and pitting on some concrete slippers and an heavy anchor chain around the neck then you can get down to than change you desire. Swimming with the fish.

Sometimes your attempts at word association are too far off the chart to register even with the Creator.
Jesus was a Pisces, so swimming with the fishes could be a good thing. But since we are entering the Age of Asparagus, I will probably anchor my feet in the soil. There is no doom and gloom on the horizon according to my sources (that is unless Harper gets a majority - then all bets are off.)

In the evolution of the soul it is impossible to go backwards. You might stagnate but you can't become a cow.

You sure about that? I thought that was what Karma was all about. I would work really well if someone like Clifford Olson could come back as impotent rabbit with no teeth.

No, if you are a schmuck in this life, you will probably come back as a politician and become the puppet of a group of sadistic CEOs, like Harper and Iggy. No matter what you believe, it is not possible to be happy without being good. Not good by other's standards, but by your own. If you live by society's standards, you will never really know who you are. All you will ever see is the reflection in other people's eyes.

Most of us have been trying to live up to someone else's expectations that we don't know what we want in life. A lot of people think they are content with their lives but it is more like a comfortable complacency. But I think that the point of this journey is to be happy in spite of all the insanity around us. That means clawing your way through all the BS others have laid on you and getting to know yourself without all that excess baggage.

I would like to see you get a cheque in a nail. Do you cast your own?
Obviously I am not a prophet from God, (they can spell)..... mail is the correct worf. If that id an insurmountable hurdle for you to cross, ... now I know how to guide you along. Yes the preceding mistrakes are there on purpose, in this post, all other times I take full responsibility as part of my 'religious clueless ****ing asshole' act.

I am smart enough to see the hypocrisy in a statement made on the 'radio' part of the web-site whatreallthappened, The host proudly stated that he was an Athiest, let a few seconds go by and the said 'thank God'. I thought it was a rather stupid thing to say, thanking somebody that (he says) doesn't exist. That doesn't him wrong in some of his other viewpoints though and he should work on another way to end the proud to be an Atheist statement.
